Additionally, touch screens in cars are so hard to operate. The easy retort is that you should only operate them when perfectly still. I don't find that argument all that compelling, but even at that, I find myself needing to steady my hand to operate a car touchscreen with any precision (as with a phone when it's mounted - there's a reason why we steady it with our hand from the backside)

Somewhat related, a few years ago when the first spacex manned capsule was launched, I gave an audible gasp when I saw they used touch screens, rocket launch is a very vibrating environment. I bet the touch screens were unusable during liftoff. However those spacex touchscreens did have one redeeming feature I would like to see on car touch screens. A bar to steady your hand while using it.
